Chase 2009 Day 4 Discussion - Tx Panhandle
RisingStar replied to Paul Sherman's topic in Storm Chase USA
Looks like theres some cells forming to the south of Matador, according to the radar. -
Some news on the evacuation attempt.. It is estimated that there are still around 25,000 villagers which are refusing to leave the risk area as they don't believe there will be a major eruption. Scientists fear that the intense build up of magma may cause a large blast, sending just about everything crashing down the mountain side. :o

Staff from Indonesia's Volcanologic Survey, have manned the posts once again, however they are ready to quickly rush out when the main blast happens, which is expected to happen very soon. It must be a really interesting job to get to watch such amazing natural events, though I do hope they are ready to run for it when it happens!

BBC News now reporting the apparent eruption, saying the increased tremors indicated the first eruption was at 1615 local time (0915 GMT). If there was any ash and lava, it has been obscured by heavy clouds and fog.

Maybe they could use synoptic charts, but stick words like 'cool' and 'hot' in big chunky text like you often see in US forecasts.

:lol: I Didn't mean to sound like I was ruling out a TS altogether, I was just expecting to hear of a new named storm from the latest recon mission, but yes it seems that development could still happen in the next 48h or so. -

It appears that there isn't going to be any further developments as the tropical depression/storm hasn't formed as expected. -
Tropical Wave Thread
RisingStar replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Not sure if this is the correct thread but... I thought I would mention the mass of thunderstorms which are sitting in the Gulf of Mexico, I suppose this could be an area which may be identified if anything begins to develop. -

What would be the limits of this storm if it were to become a hurricane? From looking at historic storms in that area, it seems that maybe a maximum of category 2 is likely. Also, Does anyone know a link for recent sea temperatures to the East of the US? -
Major Hurricane Felix
RisingStar replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Winds went up from 135mph to 150mph between the last 2 advisories, so perhaps it may increase to Cat5 just before landfall. -
Are You Scared Of Thunderstorms?
RisingStar replied to SnowJoke's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
I have always had a slight fear of lightning during the night. The thunder doesnt really bother me as much, as it usually begins quietly and builds up louder as the storm gets closer. I think the lightning only bothers me becuase you never know when its going to flash, so the 'waiting' part is the worst. The strange thing is I will track and listen out for storms, but once they actually arrive, I miss it all because my head is buried somewhere -
